Many thanks for all your suggestions and agreements. I have now actually been provided with reference material by my client, in which they refer to 'therapeutic indiciations' and so it seems this is certainly the correct translation in the context.

therapeutic indicators


Explanation:
This is how I would say it, instead of "indications." It sounds more smooth and is more common to my ear as well as seeming to fit better in context. Google confirms this by returning almost 2x the number of hits for "thereapeutic indicators" rather than "therapeutic indications (3,760,000 vs. 1,950,000). In any case, good luck :-)

treatment indications


Explanation:
Interestingly, there are 125,000 hits both for 'treatment indications' AND for 'therapeutic indications'. To me, 'treatment indications' is more intuitive. It goes straight to the point and you don't have to stop and "parse" the meaning of 'therapeutic'. It's certainly more common in the US.
